Chapter 428: Continued Popularity

The popularity of the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" quickly gave birth to a large number of "imitators" and "actors".

This is not... Today there are many teenagers wearing magic robes, wizard hats and magic wands gather in groups on Trafalgar Square, one of the most famous surfaces in London, England.

There are even many people who imitate certain plots in the movie.

The beginning of the video ~

Principal Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall appeared on Ligue Circus Road, near Harry Potter's Aunt Penny's house, waiting for Hagrid to appear.

Professor McGonagall: "Do you think it's appropriate to hand over such an important thing to Hagrid?"

Dumbledore: "I can entrust my life to him, professor."

Professor McGonagall thought it was not appropriate to entrust Harry to his bad Muggle aunt and uncle, and he was a little worried about it, but Dumbledore didn't think so.

"Isn't it better to let him grow away from fame and trouble? Until he can accept it," Dumbledore said.

When this scene in the movie reappears in Trafalgar Square in London, many people around them can't help but applaud. Well, even many older people who have not been able to watch the Harry Potter movie applaud.

“Great, guys.”

"Of course, the girls' performances are also very exciting!"

"What a group of energetic young people~"

.........

Seeing this, those "imitators" and "actors" became more and more energetic!

.........

Several people immediately performed another scene in the movie.

[Harry is addicted to Eris's Mirror, and Dumbledore advises him like this.]

"Here comes again, Harry? I see that you, like many of you, have discovered the wonders of Eris's sunglasses. I believe you already know his function. Let me give you a reminder that when the happiest people in the world look in the mirror, they can only see themselves." Dumbledore said.

Harry: "Then it reflects what we want, whatever it is?"

"Yes, not right."

Dumbledore said earnestly: "It can make people see the strongest and most urgent desire deep in their hearts. Harry, you have never seen your family, so you see your parents standing by you, but... you must remember. Harry, this mirror does not reflect knowledge or convey the truth. People waste their time in front of it, or even go crazy. I hope you don't look for it anymore, don't indulge in illusory dreams and forget about the real life."

Whether in the movie "Harry Potter" or the novel "Harry Potter", Dumbledore is always an outstanding and wise old man.

Most of the book fans and movie fans are attracted by Dumbledore.

This is also a phenomenon that many parents are happy to see.

For example: After the first round of battle with Voldemort, Harry found and protected the Philosopher's Stone. Harry, who was resting in the school hospital, asked Dumbledore about his doubts.

"Harry, do you know why Professor Quirrell can't stand you touching him?"

"Because of your mother, he sacrificed himself to save you, this behavior left a mark."

“No~”

"This mark is invisible, it grows in every inch of your skin."

Dumbledore blurted out.

Harry: "What is that?"

Dumbledore: "Love, Harry, is love!"

Correct, healthy values ​​and social outlook greatly help the growth of little book fans. How do those parents not love Harry Potter?

These various phenomena and good news further enhanced the box office of "Harry Potter".

.........

The fourth day of the film's release is Monday and weekdays, but the Harry Potter movie still earned £4.52 million in box office results today.

This result is enough to make "Harry Potter" the top box office in the British film market on Monday.

No. 2, only £1.3 million today.

No. 3, the box office collected on the same day was less than 1 million pounds.

The British box office rankings on the same day went from 2nd to 8th. The total amount of box office closed on the same day was barely the same as Harry Potter, which shows its strong performance.

Many of my colleagues were about to go crazy jealously.

"Oh my god~"

Bailey, the president of the UK's top RPC (Dao Film) Film Company, said shockedly: "With the further popularity of "Harry Potter", I can't imagine its final box office results. It's hard to say that it can become the British movie box office champion. That's right, I'm not referring to the 2000 annual box office champion, but the British film history box office champion!"

In 1987, the film "The Last Emperor", which won 8 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, was shot and completed by Dao Film Company and Yanke Film Company of Italy.

Dao Film Company's position in the UK is no less than that of Disney and Warner in Hollywood.

So, Bailey's words were crazily reproduced by many media.

After all, this Bailey is not the king of football, but the British film tycoon Bailey.

As the trend has progressed to this point, everyone understands a fact- "Harry Potter" is already unstoppable!

.........

America.

Jinshuguang Entertainment Group.

As the chairman, Zhu Ke has always had a smile on his face in the past few days, and he can't stop being proud of his heart!

There is no way, who made "Harry Potter" hit the box office in the British movie?!

Before that, Bill and Zucker decided to let Harry Potter premiere in the UK first, which was a very risky decision.

If you succeed, you will greatly enhance your influence in the United States;

If failure is undoubtedly a great blow to the future box office potential of "Harry Potter";

“Where is the reason why you can make a lot of money without taking risks?”

Zhuke clenched his fists: "Reality is that we succeed. Successful people win everything!"

In fact, the reason why the movie "Harry Potter" was successful in its British premiere was that in addition to the old Bill's command, Zucker himself also made great contributions.

Since 1998, Zucker has definitely spent a lot of effort to promote the Harry Potter books, and the financial resources, manpower, material resources, media influence, etc. spent during this period are simply countless.

Only with a lot of efforts can we get the rewards we have today!

In the original history of time and space, Warner Company produced the Harry Potter movie, which cost $125 million and the promotion and promotion cost is no less than $50 million.

But, look at how much Zucker spent?

The promotional and distribution expenses that Zucker prepared for the Harry Potter movie were $100 million!

This is a real $100 million in publicity and promotion expenses!

Even the wealthy Hollywood Six majors cannot easily decide the $100 million promotional expenses. After all, it is now in 2000, not after 2010. Look at the Titanic, its promotional expenses are only over 100 million.

Not only that!

Zhuke's emphasis on "Harry Potter" is definitely not comparable to Warner in the original time and space!

In the original time and space, Warner was in a turbulent period of internal struggle at that time. Where did he have any extra energy to promote "Harry Potter"? It was not until "Harry Potter" achieved a box office of more than $900 million that Warner began to spare no effort to promote it.

The movie "Harry Potter" is excellent, but the most important thing is to invest large-scale public investment and promote it.

Zhuke did a lot of this.

Looking around the world, Zhuke's strength and power, including influence, are certainly not as strong as Warner, but... in the United States and the United Kingdom, Zhuke will definitely dare to face any of the six major Hollywood players.

"I have definitely made great contributions to the success of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"!" Zhuke boasted.

Although there is suspicion of boasting, this is exactly the fact.

In the original time and space, when the movie "Harry Potter 1" was released, the total global sales of the "Harry Potter" series of books was only more than 2 million copies;

And what about after Zhu Ke’s operation?

The cumulative global book sales exceed 20 million copies, do you think it's a joke?!
Chapter completed!
